You have money, time, and rackspace to burn setting up a reverse-proxy for your webserver, but no resources to devote to your actual webserver? Beef up the webserver, upgrade IIS, team your NICs, do something to fix the problem, not the symptom.

What I did: Switch to 1/2-caffeine coffee in the morning. Have a single, smaller cup of it, instead of a Flagon. Let it work its way through your head, and the morning fog disappears. Instead of immediately refilling, hold on as long as you can - by the time that you 'need' another cup, it might be lunchtime. Food/water are good to distract you, and the blood sugar perks you up. If you MUST have coffee in the afternoon, do a small cup of 1/2 caffeine coffee. Eventually you will stop the afternoon coffee. Switch to all-decaf in the morning, the addiction is as much morning ritual as it is a need for speed. Studies have shown that people DO perform better mentally on small doses of caffeine, so there's no real need to go completely on the wagon. Just do small cups, of 1/2-caff. Good luck!

You're right. There is no difference between the power of the gun (your congressman) and the dollar (the economy). Let's legislate everyone a job. It worked for Franco in Spain, it worked for FDR, it worked for Stalin./SARCASM
Here's another thought: Get a night job, go back to school. Develop a decent app on Sourceforge, use their compile farms, use their networking tools, all while collecting unemployment, and use the experience and resume-padding to get a job. Stop whining. The world keeps turning, you can't expect it to stop because your skillset no longer matches the 'hot' jobs. What happened to the guys who shovelled coal on the railroads? What aboue telegraph operators?
"NOW is the time to fix them so that they can be tuned and maintained prior to the 5.3 Release when the code is marked stable..
Shouldn't this read something like: NOW is the time to fix them so that they can be tuned and maintained so that the 5.3 Release can be marrked stable.
In other words, the code should be marked stable when it IS, rather than at some arbitrary release level.
Higher levels of investment in development may yield things like better test labs, more test boxes, more test OSes, easier benchmark simulation, etc. More dollars means that development can take place on more special-case nodes, and devote time to specific optimizations.
Indeed, China is a savage country where the people are held to be the property of the State, where AIDS education is nonexisten, where SARS went unacknowledged and untreated, where infanticide of female children is commonplace, where freedom of speech is nonexistent, where the soldiers are given amphetamines to make them more aggressive when disrupting protests, the list goes on and on. Just because they stole (dont kid yourselves, all of RMS' crying wont get the kernel source for this thing) the Linux kernel and put it in a phone, the Slashdotters are drooling over them and calling them 'progressive'. My only hope is that the world turns to the shit you people advocate just after I die.
Are almost the most useless lot of the post dot-bomb 'new Economy' workplace. People who have no real technical background other than (potentially) an MBA, migrate from one fucked up project to the next, never taking blame, always progressing higher in the ladder.
is a big problem, partially real and partially imagined. The real issue is transmission of viruses and bacteria through body fluids - what if I have an eye infection when I peer into the retina scanner? What if I pick my nose, then scan my fingerprint? The imagined issue is the 'cootie factor', where you wont want to touch something that 1,000,000 other people touched (think toilet seat). Lastly, our new biometric overlords (The US Govt) will undoubtedly put 1,000,001 policies and procedures in place creating a huge barrier to market entry, unless of course you're the gov't approved contractor. None of which will be followed by the unscrupulous, thus continuing the tradition of fucking the honest and awarding (by default) the sketchy.

What does your post actually say? Other than market-speak, I find no actual content. Curious that you post AC...

Geesh, are you too '1337' to write properly, or just the sad product of years of public (that's the state-funded ones for you UK readers) schools?

And MS stopped getting things right just after 3.11
Shame on all you who rose to it!

Except that OpenBIOS is total vaporware. And from the looks of their site, is likely to remain so forever.

Take a page from your own book - please provide EVIDENCE (not a number of anecdotes) that MS has worked on the x86 instruction set with Intel.
And please, get a real name. Chapterhouse Dune sucked.
